...mobile, zooming camera carry the fast pace of changing personal and political relationships. This pace is perhaps a bit hectic, especially at the beginning: Bellochio cuts from one liaison to another without letting us figure out ideological or amatory identities. But these are minor confusions that only tumble forward to hit us occasionally, when the rest of the film slows down...
...second question, now irrelevant but still tantalizing, is whether without the "bute", Dancer's Image could still have mustered his stretch charge against the 2-to-1 favorite Forward Pass, who now receives the trophy, the $122,600, and the shot at the Triple Crown. Dancer's Image has been bothered all his life with sore ankles, and if the "bute" did anything, it alleviated the pain which might have prevented him from giving his best effort...
Pain in an unknown factor, but it was clear to those who bet Dancer's Image down to 7-to-2 second-favoritism that the Derby field was perfectly set up for a horse of his come-from-behind style.

The second choice (at 4-1) is Dancer's Image -who is exactly that. Owned by Massachusetts Auto Dealer Peter Fuller, who turned down an offer of $1,000,000 for the colt last month, Dancer's Image is a son of Native Dancer. Like his daddy, he is a grey.
